The Dark Knight photoshoot: 1/31/09 High res avail.

I'll be making a build thread soon, I have a few more parts I am waiting for from my CF man Josh Borowicz (Bumbblebeerx8) and the car will be complete.

Car was dirty but pics came out clean.

I have a couple pics like that but these pics were taken with more of a "street" look in mind, basically look as if the car was ready to drive. I don't drive with any of that stuff closed so it all works out.

The windows are up in a couple pics but down in others, gives contrast from the rest of the car, hides the ugly UV sticker thingy and shows off the weather guards. At the same time it give the car more lines and shape.

Just have to have a camera capable of it.

Its like comparing cell phone pics to a digi cam. then you got the regular P&S digi cameras then you have the SLRs

The camera used for the shots is a Nikon D80.

I like the look of your car, it's very aggressive, but just reminds me too much of deedub's car because of the parts you bought from him, but you have a good looking car, just doesnt have the origionality yet.

Yeah it'll always have similarities, but I don't mind. Bryan (DeeDub) had a very nice car, it sucks it had to go back to stock but it is what it is. I had my eye on that trunk even before Bryan had it and I had my eyes set on a similar styled Advan wheel setup. So regardless they would have been cousins.

His car was a lot more subtle than what I am going for which is a much more aggressive stance and appearance. So far, so good. The future plan is CF MS rear diffuser, CF MS side skirts, CF stock styled trunk with the CF MS wing.

I'm enjoying the wingless look for now however.

To everyone else thanks for the comments!

Oh and anybody local lookin for some pics, just let me know. I have a large group of photographer friends and we're always down for pics.

I'm always looking to do photo shoots with other RX8 owners but a lot of them are stock, or close to it so the pictures never come out right lol. They look like before and after shots.

As you can see Josh is hard at work getting my parts ready, he's really gotten his technique down and I'm proud to display his work. Its been an awesome time working with him and shall continue doing so for some time to come (he'll be doing my roof as well most likely)

If anyone needs anything ever layed in REAL grade A CF (any weave pattern) he's your man.
